Vol. 9 No. 1 (2019): Revista Portuguesa de Educação Artística

In its volume 9, the Portuguese Journal of Artistic Education (RPEA) is now published by the Conservatory - Professional School of the Arts of Madeira. This change in editorial ownership does not alter the strategy of the journal, which continues to seek to internationalize its action. Thus, since the last issue, the RPEA has been indexed in the CAPES Journal Portal (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel - Brazil), one of the most relevant scientific directories in South America. Currently, the RPEA is indexed and referenced in 10 directories of international scientific journals, which contributes to increase the international credibility of this journal.

This volume highlights the inclusion, for the first time, of a systematic interview with musician António Victorino D'Almeida, where issues related to the current panorama of Portuguese music and artistic education are addressed. In addition to this interview, some relevant topics are addressed in this issue: the training of visual and technological arts teachers, based on a case study at the Lisbon School of Education; sexual identities and the role of arts education in this context; and the history of classic guitar in the Iberian Peninsula. Finally, the magazine ends with two essays on dance problems today, which aim to stimulate debate in this field.
